Thanksgiving Day

Well we went to my friends house for dinner and it was wonderful. There were 14 of us and the food was great. We had so much that we could have feed 100 more! The turkey was so moist and yummy along with the stuffing and green beans and so on and so on.... Everyone cooks for hours that day to be eaten so fast! maybe we should do it in courses so we have to stay at the table longer to enjoy it and the company of our families.

This is one of the desserts I made and brought with us, it was a Brownie Trifle which was yummy but not eaten by enough so I had to take it back home with me and since I am the only real chocolate lover I had to end up throwing it out today. Such a shame but what could I do...next time I know to only make one dessert instead of 3!

After the yummy dinner, I took my family home and met my girlfriend at Michael's for the Thanksgiving day specials! I got some new cricut cartridges for a great price of only $29.99 who could beat that! I have been playing with them all weekend. This is probably the most I have played with my cricut since I got it! Then I convinced my friend to go shopping on Black Friday! (she is not a morning person) so I let her sleep in and said we could meet at 7am. That was early for her but she is such a trooper. I of course was up at 3:30 with my husband who had to be at work at 4am and I just couldn't go back to sleep so I laid around thinking of what I really needed at Walmart to warrant me to go there at 5am and I really couldn't think of anything so I searched the Internet again and again to see what I needed and then said what the heck it's tradition that I go shopping early! so I got dressed even brushed my teeth and pulled my hair back and off I went. OH MY GOSH was all I can say when I saw the parking lot at Walmart! It was like it was a Saturday afternoon and everyone was shopping for the football game! I had to park in the back forty and when I got inside the lines were huge already with people who came for their treasures and were checking out! so I strolled along the isles as I was not really looking for anything in particular and when I found something that looked good, I popped it into my cart then I headed over to ladies clothes and they had jackets and hoodies for a great price, threw a few of those in the cart and then headed to the jeans as they were a great price also, threw a few of those in the cart as well, then walked around the store a few times and looked at baskets that had been abandoned and found a vacuum cleaner I was looking for so it was mine (hey possession is 9/10th of the law) haha then I found Don and showed him my treasures then he told me of a treasure he wanted so we headed over there and got that for him and then I strolled some more and looked at the time and it was already 6:45 and I knew my friend was on her way to my house so I called her and told her to come to Walmart directly. So I checked out, loaded my car and then the rain came! ugh...it was pouring so I waited in my car and watched for her to come, sure enough she arrived. We ran into the store and headed shopping again. I helped her make good choices on her purchases! and made sure she spent at least the same amount as me cause that's what friends do right? :)

So we left there and headed south so we could use our coupons at Joann's and Michael's which of course we did then we headed to Avenue as they had their sweaters for $5.00 couldn't beat that one either. Got a few of those and another shirt then we realized we were beat! So homeward bound we went. I of course took a nap and then went scrap booking with more friends and played with my new cricut stuff then we went to dinner and back to one of the friends house and just hung out and talked what a great day it was! I am truly blessed for sure.
